YUM!

...these delicious fuckers are everywhere! And they're all I'm going to eat for the next two months. I eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I've already had three today. One time I ate 10 in one day and then had quite a tummy ache, so I will never do that again. But on the plus side, no scurvy for me!

Clementines are a poor substitute for satsuma mandarins.

@1 Yeah, the clementines with seeds suck. Mikans for the win!

I learned the hard way. All that acid erodes your teeth. Make sure you brush or use wash afterward.

@6:
Yes. I've made cake, muffins, pancakes and other things with fresh oranges as one of the ingredients.

They will also make your poop acidic. If you're the kind of person who wears a diaper, you will get epic diaper rash.

Frequent flyer tip: You can bring these through security, and they are fun to peel when you are sick of reading.

The correct answer to why this is the best time of year is grapefruit! As good as those are, grapefruit is the fucking best ever.

Agree that satsumas are better. But still, hooray!

@11 Grapefruit is bad for old farts like me with high blood pressure. But I do like it.

Someone once made me a clementine curd tart and I wanted to propose.

@16 Agreed: at this time of year, I eat about one sack a day, no problem.
